A big question heading into this cycle was whether Democrats' best path to winning back the White House ran through the Sunbelt or the Great Lakes (i.e. Rust Belt). While we won't know for certain which pathway was best for them until the votes are actually counted, the current data shows a pretty clear divide. If former Vice President Joe Biden is to win this election, his best chance probably runs through the Great Lakes... Hillary Clinton won contests containing 232 electoral votes. Were Biden to hold the Clinton states (and polls indicate that he probably will), he needs to...

A recent study conducted by the Jewish Electorate Institute found that 67% of American Jewish respondents planned to vote for Joe Biden and 30% for President Trump. Eighty-eight percent of those surveyed claimed to be pro-Israel and 64% said Israel is an important election issue. Most ranked Biden higher on U.S.-Israel relations, the handling of anti-Semitism, and ensuring the security of the Jewish community. The survey results are surprising, given Trump’s stellar record on Jews and Israel. American Jews must reconsider, for Biden’s record and positions on critical topics belie these perceptions. Record on IsraelBiden’s record should dispel any notions...

Chances are you’ve already made up your mind about whom to vote for as we decide who’s going to be the next president of the United States. You probably are also aware there’s no way The Hartford Courant or most any other newspaper is going to endorse Republican Donald Trump for reelection. There are many reasons for that, and we’re not going to go into them in great detail here. If you are voting for Democrat Joe Biden, you know what they are. If you’re voting for Trump, you probably don’t care. But there is one issue that demands a...

When President Donald Trump brought up Hunter Biden’s activity in the first presidential debate the former Vice President attempted to pass it off as rumor. Rumor that has supposedly been debunked.He waved his hand in the air and attempted to over talk the president. He claimed and implied that multiple journalists had investigated the claims and found them to be something akin to gossip.Which was an interesting angle to take because he didn’t deny them on substance.Unlike the president who has had to condemn white supremacy more than two dozen times publicly, when he’s never embraced it in any fashion—Joe...

The debacle that Big Tech created this week when they decided to censor an article critical of Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, has put a spotlight on people who were otherwise hidden in the shadows. Of particular interest are those who are involved with ensuring “election integrity” at companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google. That’s why it’s no surprise to find out Anna Makanju, Facebook’s Public Policy Manager for Global Elections, has a history that should spark interest. First and foremost, she was born in the former Soviet Union. That fact alone is not disqualifying; there are many patriotic...

Hunter Biden is a 50-year-old American lawyer whose elderly father Joe hopes in just over a fortnight to unseat Donald Trump at the U.S. Presidential election. He's also a twice-married father of five kids (one via a fleeting affair with a former stripper) who has struggled with cocaine and alcohol addiction for most of his adult life and in 2014, when his dad was Barack Obama's Vice President, managed to get booted out of the U.S. Naval Reserve for failing a drug test. This week saw a vintage 'October surprise' when the New York Post obtained footage of Hunter variously:...

Joe Biden heaped praise on Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday, saying, “There’s not a better governor” in the country. Speaking to supporters in Detroit, Biden said, “There’s not a better governor in the United States of America than Gretchen Whitmer,” triggering applause from the audience:

BREAKING: New Trafalgar Group Poll Shows Trump with Thin Lead in MICHIGAN: Trump 46.5% Biden 45.9%

WASHINGTON — The election is still 18 days away but Democrats are already drawing battle lines over what a Biden administration ought to look like. Left-wing House members including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Katie Porter, Ayanna Pressley, Raúl Grijalva and candidate Jamaal Bowman along with 39 progressive groups signed a letter, obtained by POLITICO, arguing that no C-suite level corporate executives or corporate lobbyists ought to have Senate-confirmed positions in a Biden administration. “One of the most important lessons of the Trump administration is the need to stop putting corporate officers and lobbyists in charge of our government,” they wrote. “As...

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s ties to a leading anti-Israel group are generating scrutiny among Jewish voters, particularly in Florida, a perennial swing state populated by a large number of staunchly pro-Israel voters. As California’s attorney general and then as U.S. senator, Harris forged a relationship with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state. CAIR advised Harris on community issues during her time in California politics, and she later offered the group her "gratitude and admiration" in a 2018 personal letter to the group. Harris’s association...

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s official public schedule shows several gaps during which he could have met with a Burisma adviser in 2015, despite claims by the Biden campaign that the meeting could not have happened because it was not on Biden’s “official schedules.”

It is my belief that there is an important development the Presidental Campaign. Turnaround for some campaign commercials are critical. Tonight, Kamala Harris made the Campaign Commercial for Joe Biden as I saw it. The commercials now being made may be dependent on Kamala Harris, not Joe Biden to make them. There have been many people speculating about Joe Biden's mental health. Is the fact that the Biden/Harris campaign are having to rely on Kamala Harris to make commercials an indication that Joe Biden has mental issues and a lack of stamina? Ending with a link about Joe Biden's mental...

President Trump on Monday ridiculed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden for mistakenly saying at a campaign stop he’s running “for the Senate” — and appearing to forget Mitt Romney’s name. “‘I’m running as a proud Democrat, for the Senate’. Sleepy Joe Biden today,” Trump tweeted. “It’s only going to get worse. It is not sustainable for our County – China will own us!!!!” In another tweet, Trump wrote, “Biden losing big in Florida. Only Fake Polls show otherwise! Bad for Healthcare. Thinks he’s running for the Senate. Forgot Mitt Romney’s name, and where he was!”

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is reportedly considering making Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo his attorney general if elected president, Axios reported Sunday. Cuomo chairs the National Governors Association, where aides have reportedly started looking at potential replacements for Cuomo if Biden is elected, Axios reported. Democratic donors said Biden and Como’s history of friendship would factor into his consideration for the appointment, the outlet noted. However, Cuomo’s office said he has no interest in serving in a cabinet position, Axios reported. “100% he’s made zero outreach, has had zero conversations about this and has made his desire to...

“Where am I going? Am I going this way?” a confused Joe Biden asked as he walked over to people without a face mask! Why isn’t CNN, MSNBC and other fake news reporters calling Biden out for putting people in danger?

It is no shock that many expect Joe Biden, if elected, will not finish out his term in office. In fact, last month Rasmussen Reports published a poll that indicated 59 percent of likely voters do not think Joe Biden, 77, would finish his first term. Nearly half (49 percent) of the Democrats surveyed thought Biden would quit before four years are finished. So, almost a majority of Democrats know they are essentially voting for a Harris presidency at some point over the next four years. The shock is that Monday night Kamala Harris let the plan slip out of...

A conversation with swing voters in Michigan has revealed that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s decision to add Sen. Kamala Harris to his ticket might be driving many of them to vote for President Donald Trump in November. Rich Thau of the analytics group Engagious spoke with 13 Michigan voters who cast ballots for Trump in 2016 but previously voted for former President Barack Obama. During a remote conversation Thursday following Wednesday night’s debate between Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, the voters weighed in with the Engagious Swing Voter Project.

Could Nevada be the Michigan of 2020 — a state Democrats figured they had in the bag but that unexpectedly goes for Donald Trump? One particular stat about the state has troubled Democrats all cycle: Hillary Clinton won it by less than she lost Arizona, the neighboring battleground. Guarding against any overconfidence, Joe Biden is visiting Nevada during his Western swing on Friday. Biden held a “drive-in rally” Friday at the Southeast Career Technical Academy parking lot in Las Vegas, where he pledged, if elected, to enact policies that would improve the lives of everyday Americans. “You deserve a president...

Democrats are trying to do what they always try to do during election season. They’re painting a rosy picture of their policies and how they affect African-Americans. After the election, they’ll go back to ignoring African-American communities and needs until the following election season. Rinse. Repeat.But one African-American pastor isn’t listening to them anymore. Pastor Aaron Lewis is done with the Democratic Party, especially the current presidential ticket. He had some particularly harsh words for vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, whose history of incarcerating African-Americans for questionable “crimes” helped derail her presidential nomination run. Democrats are hoping nobody remembers her...
